Problem 42HP

One kilogram of diatomic oxygen (O2, molecular mass of 32) is contained in a 500-L tank. Find the specific volume on both a mass and a mole basis (v and ῡ).

ANSWER:

Solution 42HP

Step 1 of 3:

We are given one kg of diatomic oxygen in a tank of volume V. We are going to find the specific volume on the basis of a mass and a mole.

The mass of oxygen m = 1 kg

The volume of the container V = 500 L = 0.5 m3

The molar mass of oxygen molecule M = 32 g/mol = 32 x 10-3 kg/mol
